RTX 5090 owners have been complaining online for over a week that some cards shipped with fewer ROPs, AKA render/raster output units than they should have. The RTX 5090 review units supposedly have 176 ROPs enabled,

Following user complaints about certain GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards, Nvidia confirms the existence of some defective units and offers replacements.

Of the four Blackwell releases, the Nvidia RTX 5070 is the most affordable of the bunch, sitting in at a retail price of $549. Less expensive variants will undoubtedly be released later during the cycle but the next official announcement has yet to be made.
